Saturday Cold Front Update!

Chief Meteorologist Craig Carnesi with a Saturday update...

If you have been paying attention over the past week, I have been mentioning that a big cold front is coming.

In fact, I've been mentioning on TV that our first freeze was coming since this past Monday.

After this cold front arrives Tuesday morning, it looks like this will be the beginning of the end of this warmer than average weather. You see, usually once you get that "door" open to that cold Canadian air, it more times than not continues to move freely into the United States.

Another strong cold front looks to make it to the Big Country by Saturday of next week. So, if you have a garden you've been working on, I'd plan on finishing everything up this weekend. I'd also go ahead and have the plastic ready to cover any outdoor plants as well. And go ahead and clear up some space in the garage to bring in any tender vegetation Tuesday night.
